Tzatziki

There are so many excellent tzatziki recipes on F.com, but I chose this one because it has such good reviews -- but no photo yet, so I took a pic for you. I did tweak a few things: I did not peel my English cucumber, grated it roughly, salted it, and left it in a sieve to drain for an hour. I definitely used more grated cucumber than the recipe asks for, and yes, I used Greek yoghurt -- so important! Do NOT use low-fat! I cut down on the garlic, as 6 Tblsp sound a bit over the top! LOL! With the fine cumin I also used some coarse black pepper, then left the mixture to develop its flavours. I love tzatziki! This was eaten as a cooling "side" to traditional roasted peri-peri chicken. Thanks!!

This was really good! I did cut back on the garlic a bit and added salt. Thanks for sharing!

Oh,this was good! I really enjoyed the cumin in it. I used a full fat homemade yogurt,which I drained a little.Thanks for sharing.

Almost 4 1/2 stars. Really good flavour, better than the store bought taste but not near as thick. I used a bit less garlic than called for, Balkan (thick) yogurt and an English cucumber grated. I did not squeeze the juices out which I definitely should have done. I served this alongside Recipe #364901. I may make this again squeezing the liquid out of the cucumber for a thicker outcome.

This is a great recipe. The only thing I changed was to use quark instead of yoghurt because they didn't have any Greek yoghurt at the supermarket and I think quark has a more similar flavour to Greek yoghurt than normal yoghurt does. It is really easy to make and gets better and better as you let it sit the fridge, so be patient let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours at least.
